I've posted this same question twice in the visual arts section, but i"m not getting enough feedback, and I'm kind of recluctant and afraid to start. You don't have to be an artist to answer my question. Thanks.
I'm planning to paint a portraint of Leonardo Da Vinci using a certain theme. I'm actually going after Guissippe Archemboldo's (mind the spelling, please) notion of painting using themes.... such as, making a face only out of fruits, nature, or books! I'm planning to paint 3/4 view of Leonardo's face mainly using human organs, like hearts for his cheeks, large/small intestines for his beard, appendix for his eyeborws, etc...He was actually an anatomist himself, so I thought it would be a great theme to draw him out of human organs. My plan is to draw him out first, then place the organs in place to make resemble him. I'm going to use water colour, pencil crayons, and acrylic on large illustration board.
What do you think?

Leonardo is the wrong subject for a gory picture.
Do it with Bush and you'll have said something relevant.

I think that sounds great and I'm not even sure why you're asking anyone about it or what kind of response you want. I've done paintings using images of human organs and it's been a lot of fun. Get started!
(I hope no one copies your idea now that you've fully explained it online!! Maybe you should delete these questions...)
